Hey, TECAD, there are also congregations just plain shutting down, even apart from realignment. Over at the Diocese of South Dakota website, you can see that churches in Veblen and Wounded Knee are now listed as "closed."

There are other splits in Tallahassee, FL. St. Francis split, but I don't know the name of the new church. Advent split off to Holy Cross. Holy Spirit closed and is now Holy Spirit Anglican. In Georgia, one of the Thomasville Churches also left.

I noticed that you had a couple of churches listed that left prior to 2003, so these two split in 2000.Central Gulf Coast of Florida:St. Andrew's by the Sea in Destin Florida their membership numbers went from approx. 900 to 100.ColoradoGrace Church in Buena Vista split to form Anglican Church of the Savior. They went from approx.200 to 30 members

I am doing research on the churches that have split/left. I got to about 85 when I stumbled onto your site and I passed your site on at StandFirm. Great idea!These are the ones that I found have left/split/closed: in 1977, Diocese of Los Angeles, Saint Mary of the Angles; in 1997, Diocese of Colorado, Saint Mark in Denver. There was a lot action that happened in Colorado with growth of African affiliation churches -14of them. This was reported on the Episcope July 30,2007. I don't know if they had any effect on TEC churches but I am going to look into that. Also, I am beginning to think when a church closes, TEC just takes their data history out of their numbers. I am still working on Colorado. Any updates I have, I will pass them onto you.Martin4

Diocese of Colorado:I can't seem to find any information on:Saint Nicholas and Christ KingDiocese of ConneticutSt. John's Episcopal Church in Bristol. Interesting story. Does not report an actual split but ... the rector was deposed Dr. Mark Hansen and the data shows that something happened. In 2004 there were approx 520 members, in 2006 that went down to approx 200. They may have been cleaning up their books put plate and pledge money also dropped significantly. $160,000 in 2004 to $90,000 in 2006.

Hard to describe. Entire congregation, vestry, and rector decided to leave Christ Church rather than try to "vote it out". Bp put priest in charge, they still have some services with a few remnants, so technically this would be a "split", although a near-unanimous one; Christ Church is still in TEC. Those who left formed New Hope Anglican, under Kenya (not Uganda.)

You may want to check on Durham, NC's St Joseph's Episcopal Church, whose rector was forced out a few years ago and started a local Anglican Church in America parish (TAC). I'm not sure if it's still there, but it seems that a large chunk of the parish left with him.

TEC has not had a congregation split or depart since:

About Me

In 2003, The Episcopal Church listed about 7,200 churches in the U.S. I'm interested in what has happened since.
I'm running two lists here and I invite your participation. There is a fairly exaustive, if unofficial, list of Episcopal Church USA congregations that have either split or departed entirely for other branches of the Anglican Church, and then there is a list of Episcopal Church plants, congregations that have recently started in the Episcopal Church.
Email me with your additions, corrections, or clarifications, and I will update this page as soon as possible.
